  • Alertus Technologies (map)

Active shooters, intruders, medical emergencies, and more – your K-12 community faces growing threats. Are your teachers and staff equipped to get fast help, when and where they need it?

Join our live webinar, “How to Choose the Right Panic Button Solutions for Your K-12 Community,” on Wednesday, August 16 from 1:00-2:00 pm EST. As more states continue to pass legislation requiring silent alert systems in schools, most districts nationwide are considering new panic buttons to improve safety and provide peace of mind to staff, students, and families. With a wide variety of devices on the market – from wearable WiFi and Bluetooth panic buttons to USB and hardwired activation devices – it’s important to identify the solutions that meet your school’s or district’s unique needs. 

During this webinar, attendees will: 

  • Compare the growing variety of panic buttons on the market and learn which new features and benefits to consider. 

  • Discover how to empower staff to request instant help and activate system-wide alerts.

  • Understand the importance of delivering crucial, real-time incident information with location awareness to emergency responders and organizational stakeholders.

  • Uncover how leveraging your organization’s existing IP network can minimize installation costs. 

  • Learn how panic buttons can interact with other alerting endpoints to ensure consistent, enterprise-wide notification. 

  • Explore Alertus’ suite of IP panic buttons and emergency activation devices, including the WiFi Panic Button, USB Multi Panic Button, Bluetooth badges, and the Rapid Response Console.
